Hello, I’m using the Ostrich 2.0 on a Motronic 1.1 (86 BMW 535i 059 ECU) and am getting perfect results including hit trace! However, when I try to use the emulator in the car as the eprom, the car dies when I unplug the USB cable from the laptop. Am I missing something here? I know the Ostrich 2.0 has a battery, but I haven’t tested it yet. Is there a setting I’m missing (does the battery need to recharge perhaps)? The software is Tunerpro v.5 beta.

Thanks!
San.

I used the Ostrich 2.0 to tune a 60*V6 Chevy and drove on it without burning a chip as I was constantly tuning it. Now I have moved on to a ’93 Caprice wagon that I’ll be putting a built 350 or 383 in very soon. I’ll be counting on my Ostrich to do the job once again. Great product and all of my tuning equipment came from Craig.

Socket Booster is NOT needed w/ DSM. If you want to use speed density and get rid of your MAF and you have a 1g turbo car, visit http://www.ds-map.net. We have been running a speed density project since 2005 now that incorporates the Moate’s Ostrich for real time tuning.

The Ostrich is hands down the best purchase I have ever made for my vehicle. I recommend it to everyone, even the eprom jockey’s that think that there is nothing that can make burning chips second place…. well there is, it’s the Ostrich Emulator. Great product Craig, keep up the awesome work!

I believe that a SocketBooster is indeed needed with DSM applications.

Great product, I’m using it tuning Nissan Skylines on the dyno with a different ecu from another car. I use the Nistune software which is fully compatible with the ostrich 2.0

Look at this video. http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=iW_ZGMUHJVE

Keep up the goos work.

Do you need to use a socket booster to run this on a dsm?

[...] ECU to tune. Why not use TunerPro RT? Moates lists it on their Ostrich compatibility page. Moates Support : Ostrich 2.0 It may not be as fancy as ECMLink, but it should do the job until someone writes/edits an [...]
